Christine's Story

Our wedding date, July 03, 2016, is getting closer and closer! The next big event before my wedding is my bridal shower and I couldn't be more excited! My mom is hosting my bridal shower for me and she let me choose the theme and venue. I'm really excited to see how things pan out. I'm planning on having my bridal shower in June, a month before my wedding. It will be an intimate event at The Villa in Woodland Hills. My mom, cousin, and I went to brunch there and I fell in love with the scenery. It is perfect for a bridal shower. The Privato is a private room up a gorgeous staircase with a cozy fireplace and furnished balcony. It feels like home!

Makeup definitely isn't my strong point as I rarely wear makeup! When it comes to makeup, I don't even know where to start. Not only do I not know what products to use, but I don't know any makeup artists either. After doing some research, I decided to try out DollYou_Up when I saw her Instagram page.

Victor and I knew that no matter where we went on our honeymoon, we would incorporate our culture and experience a new place to see together. We hoped to have the opportunity to experience the countries from which our families come from together one day.

Our good friend, Hrant Vartzbedian, invited Victor to join him and AGBU, the largest Armenian non-profit organization for a SARF dinner. Victor purchased a few raffle tickets. The grand prize was airfare to Armenia. A few weeks later we were absolutely shocked when Hrant told us that Victor had actually won the grand prize!

As a florist, I've helped make many bride's wedding a special day, especially when it comes to their personal flowers. I've worked on many bridal, bridesmaid and toss bouquets in the past so I knew I had to make something very special for myself.

I met Vic from Vic Studios at the Harsanik Bridal Show. My mom, cousin and I spent a lot of time at Vic's booth mesmerized over his many albums. All three of us were in love with his photos.

I wasn't sure I wanted to call Vic at first. His photos were more than extraordinary. I was afraid they would come with a hefty price tag. A couple weeks after the show I gave Vic a call in the spur of the moment. He invited me to his office so we could discuss pricing and look at more samples of his work.
